John Schoen Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Two P pickups and a camouflaged Model One near the neck should cover all bases.

tom1946 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I must be dense, I can't get it off the burst colour, I want shades of yaller, how do I get that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NancyJohnson Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 (edited) This is great fun and another hour wasted! It does make you wonder why manufacturers don't offer a degree of configuration/customisation even in a limited way...it's 2014 kids. Fender (for instance) must be producing hundreds of bodies/necks globally on a daily basis; this isn't a case of following through an instrument or keeping it in house from start to finish (a la their Custom Shop), it should simply be a case of 'simply' stockpiling parts and screwing them together to satiate the desires of their customers, rather than force feeding them a limited number of standard models plus artist editions.

My biggest bug bear is that I'll probably never be able to buy a Surf Green/Sonic Blue Fender Precision off the rack for less than a couple of grand because they're seen as 'obscure' finishes.

UglyDog Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) Ideally the headstock would be finished to match the body.

LiamPodmore Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Nice and manly of course. I'd also have the same in white probably too. Liam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biaeothanata-Bassist Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 (edited) Here's mine, it's actually something i'm part way through building, had the image in my head then after mapping it out on that builder, could finally see what it's going to look like when it's finished. I can't wait for it to be done! (ps, yes, i did photoshop the reverse P pick up next to the bridge but that's what's going on it and i'm not having a logo on it so i got rid of it on the picture) Edited March 17, 2014 by Biaeothanata-Bassist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
